SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:14
¶ Y el SEÑOR dijo a Abram, después que Lot se apartó de él: Alza ahora tus ojos, y mira desde el lugar donde tú estás hacia el aquilón, y al mediodía, y al oriente y al occidente;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 13:15
Verse 15. To thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.] This land was given to Abram, that it might lineally and legally descend to his posterity; and though Abram himself cannot be said to have possessed it, Acts vii. 5, yet it was the gift of God to him in behalf of his seed; and this was always the design of God, not that Abram himself should possess it, but that his posterity should, till the manifestation of Christ in the flesh. And this is chiefly what is to be understood by the words for ever, µlw[ da ad olam, to the end of the present dispensation, and the commencement of the new.µlw[ olam means either ETERNITY, which implies the termination of all time or duration, such as is measured by the celestial luminaries: or a hidden, unknown period, such as includes a completion or final termination of a particular era, dispensation, &c.; therefore the first is its proper meaning, the latter its accommodated meaning. See note on ""chap. xvii. 7"" See note on ""chap. xxi. 33"".
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-18 - Those are best prepared for the visits of Divine grace, whose spirit are calm, and not ruffled with passion. God will abundantly make up in spiritual peace, what we lose for preserving neighbourly peace. When our relations are separated from us, yet God is not. Observe also the promises with which God now comforted and enriched Abram. Of two thing he assures him; a good land, and a numerous issue to enjoy it. The prospects seen by faith are more rich and beautiful than those we se around us. God bade him walk through the land, not to think of fixin in it, but expect to be always unsettled, and walking through it to better Canaan. He built an altar, in token of his thankfulness to God When God meets us with gracious promises, he expects that we shoul attend him with humble praises. In outward difficulties, it is very profitable for the true believer to mediate on the glorious inheritanc which the Lord has for him at the last __________________________________________________________________
